I like the approach, but the template only needs a single table:

http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/httpd-mod_domain-clearance.html

We could add links from the table headings to their definition in the guide.

Craig Russell commented on INCUBATOR-74:
----------------------------------------

Three things that might be relevant in helping the PMC decide whether to accept the contribution, or more rubbish:

I'd like to know if there is any connection between the contribution and an existing product (commercial or otherwise).

I'd like to know if the contribution reads on any patents known to the contributor. The grant does address patents owned by the contributor, but it would still be good to know what they are and if there are any other patents that are known to the contributor.

I'd like to know if the contribution is subject to export controls due to encryption technology. 

With regard to the suggested template http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/httpd-mod_domain-clearance.html is there any reason that the files should not have http links to the svn repo where they reside?

We don't require these for other contributions, and I see no need for a higher bar here.  The first also isn't clear (What's a "connection"?  Does "used to provide a free service that enhances a brand" constitute a connection to a product?  And the second is legally hard to determine.

------------------------------------------------

Wheels are starting to turn. I'd like to create a sufficient minimal list of aims and principles which can be approved by the legal affairs committee. The incubator can then turn this into a policy. Here's a first draft:

Aim:

1. Allow the public to audit the provenance of outside code contribution to Apache

Principles:

The following must be clearly and openly identified:

 1. the contribution
 2. the contributor(s)
 3. the accepting committee
 4. the covering agreement(s)
